This tasty piece of action cinema provides crunches, squelches and and spatter effects as the good guys and bad guys delightfully smash each other to pieces<\/p>\n
The first shot fired in Indian Hindi-language action thriller Kill isn\u2019t unleashed with deadly intent \u2013 it\u2019s at a party celebrating the arranged engagement of Tulika (Tanya Maniktala). Unfortunately, Tulika has her heart set on Amrit (played with requisite smoulder by mononymic hunk Lakshya) and why wouldn\u2019t she? He\u2019s a strapping, handsome lad, who, as an army commando, turns out to have fighting skills that will come in pretty handy.<\/p>\n
When the violence gets going, after a commendably moderate build up, there\u2019s actually a refreshing lack of gunplay; the 40-odd bandits robbing the sleeper train on which Tulika and Amrit find themselves travelling favour blades and blunt-force trauma over bullets, with an array of knives, machetes and lump hammers pressed into service as the baddies separate the innocent passengers from their valuables. Tulika\u2019s family are also on board, providing plenty of additional potential high-stakes hostages, and, in a neat twist, many of the bandits are themselves related to each other, meaning the good guys\u2019 retaliation has emotional stakes for the villains, rather than the usual action movie setup where the bad guys couldn\u2019t care less about their colleagues getting wiped out.<\/p>\n
